D. M. Smith, R. P. Lin, J. McTiernan, R. Schwartz, C. Wigger, W. Hajdas,
and A. Zehnder, on behalf of the RHESSI GRB team, report:
Ulysses, Mars Odyssey (HEND and GRS), and RHESSI observed this GRB
(GCN 1930) at 13102 seconds (Earth-crossing time).
We have triangulated it to two preliminary, 3 sigma error boxes whose
approximate areas are 40 sq. arcmin. each and whose coordinates are:
RA(2000) DEC(2000)
ERROR BOX CENTER: 21 h 53 m 27.24 s -10 o 52 ' 14.24 "
ERROR BOX CORNER 1: 21 h 53 m 24.33 s -10 o 50 ' 7.63 "
ERROR BOX CORNER 2: 21 h 54 m 0.73 s -10 o 51 ' 12.32 "
ERROR BOX CORNER 3: 21 h 52 m 53.73 s -10 o 53 ' 17.74 "
ERROR BOX CORNER 4: 21 h 53 m 30.13 s -10 o 54 ' 20.87 "
and
ERROR BOX CENTER: 21 h 4 m 14.52 s -74 o 21 ' 56.53 "
ERROR BOX CORNER 1: 21 h 3 m 55.15 s -74 o 23 ' 44.85 "
ERROR BOX CORNER 2: 21 h 6 m 7.04 s -74 o 25 ' 19.24 "
ERROR BOX CORNER 3: 21 h 2 m 22.89 s -74 o 18 ' 28.49 "
ERROR BOX CORNER 4: 21 h 4 m 33.81 s -74 o 20 ' 8.06 "
These error boxes lie approximately 18 and 71 degrees from the
Sun, respectively. They can be improved, and, although neither
is Earth-blocked or Mars-blocked, it should eventually be
possible to determine which is the correct one.
A GCN socket message will be issued shortly.
